Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
4x • (5x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (5x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(4x+5) • (5x-3)
Which is the desired factorization</span>Final result :<span> (5x - 3) • (4x + 5)

To check if a piecewise defined function is continuous, you need to check how the pieces "glue" together when you step from one domain to the other.
So, the question is: what happens at x=3? If you reach x=3 from values slightly smaller than 3, you obey the rule f(x)=log(3x). So, as you approach 3, you get values closer and closer to

Similarly, if you reach x=3 from values slightly greater than 3, you obey the rule f(x)=(4-x)log(9). So, as you approach 3, you get values closer and closer to

So, the function is continuous at x=3, because both pieces approach log(9) as x approaches 3.
Answer:
1.x=15
2.<A=29
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x-1)+(3x+9)+(6x+7)=180
2x-1+3x+9+6x+7=180
11x+15=180
11x=180-15
11x=165
x=165/11
x=15
2.<A=2x-1
<A=2*15-1
<A=30-1
<A=29
